Obama: ´You Can´t Do
Things By Yourself´

Weekly Standard, by Daniel Halper

Original Article

Posted By:Desert Fox, 2/26/2013 4:54:30 PM

"You know, the one thing about being president is, after four years, you get pretty humble. You´d think maybe you wouldn´t but actually you become more humble--you realize what you don´t know," Obama said. "You realize all the mistakes you made. But you also realize you can´t do things by yourself. That´s not how our system works. You´ve got to have the help and the goodwill of Congress, and what that means is you´ve got to make sure that constituents of members of Congress are putting some pressure on them, making sure they´re doing the right thing."

Please help me understand, under what circumstances or measure, how this man can claim to be humble?

Right. Spam-bot "constituents" put pressure on Congress to do what POTUS wants. I have tried for three years to contact my congressional representative (Sheila Jackson Lee) with no luck. Over the course of three months in 2010, I contacted her office by phone and email 37 times with no reply. How, pray tell, does one "put pressure" on a woman who has three local and one national office, is on television every time a camera rolls, and feels no responsibility at all to those in her district who do not share her views. The President is supposed to work with Congress, by the way. I presume she returns HIS phone calls!

It is bizarre, but this man actually does not understand the American system of divided government. He really doesn´t. It comes as a surprise to him that a U.S. president cannot rule by fiat. He didn´t know that. He doesn´t like it, since it interferes with his plans.

Obama is proof that candidates for the presidency should be required to take and pass a basic U.S. history and civics exam as part of the qualifying process. It has long been apparent that this "professor" of Constitutional law could not have passed such a simple exam.

You become humble…You realize what you don’t know…You realize the mistakes you’ve made…You realize Congress is a co-equal branch of government…And you have to convince the public to put pressure on Congress to make sure they do what I tell them because I´m always right.

Doesn’t the last statement pretty well wipe out everything that came before it?

What follows below is a quote from:
http://www.psychologytoday.com/node/59781

Consider an extreme case of arrested development in a young person whose chronological age is eighteen, but whose operating age, based on his or her lack of responsibility and consequent immaturity, is maybe thirteen or fourteen. What forms does this persistent escape take?

When it comes to COMMITMENT, he keeps breaking promises to himself and others. By repeatedly not keeping his word, he has lost some faith in his capacity to be reliable and in his being self-reliant.

When it comes to COMPLETION, she rarely finishes what she begins. By starting much and getting little accomplished, she has lost some confidence in her capacity to follow through and meet personal goals.

When it comes to CONSISTENCY, he doesn´t maintain continuity of constructive effort. By repeatedly being unable to keep up a healthy regimen, he has lost some capacity for self-discipline and self-care.

When it comes to CONFRONTATION, she avoids and puts off dealing with painful situations. By repeatedly choosing not to deal with emotional discomfort, she has lost some capacity to work through personal hardship.

When it comes to COURAGE, he hides from telling the truth by taking refuge in dishonesty. By repeatedly choosing to lie about what is really happening, he has lost some capacity for dealing forthrightly with reality.

When it comes to CONTROL, she lets impulse rule judgment. By repeatedly giving into the lure of immediate gratification, she has lost some capacity to resist temptation for the greater good.

When it comes to CONSEQUENCES, he disowns the results of his actions. By repeatedly denying the connection between bad choices and bad consequences, he has lost some capacity for personal accountability.

When it comes to CLOSURE, she decides by default (making no decision) when deciding gets hard. By repeatedly letting circumstance dictate difficult decisions, she has lost some capacity for mental toughness.

Of all of the world´s chemical compounds, none has a worse reputation than carbon dioxide. Thanks to the single-minded demonization of this natural and essential atmospheric gas by advocates of government control of energy production, the conventional wisdom about carbon dioxide is that it is a dangerous pollutant. That´s simply not the case. Contrary to what some would have us believe, increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will benefit the increasing population on the planet by increasing agricultural productivity. The cessation of observed global warming for the past decade or so has shown how exaggerated NASA´s and most

Twitter has reduced historical memory to minutes, but think back to what had the political class atwitter last week. Back then the air filled with worry on the left that Barack Obama was losing his juice after the gun-control setback, the sequester backfire and the Syrian red-line roll-up. The left can breathe easy. Conservatives this week, clearly over the funk of losing to him last November, have resumed their favorite political blood sport: Tearing each other apart. The conservative tribes are at it again over that most ancient of all grievances: immigration.

Junk Science: A new NASA study says global warming could "increase the risk for extreme rainfall and drought." We´ve heard this sort of threat many times before and, no, there´s nothing to see here. According to NASA: "Analysis of computer simulations from 14 climate models indicates wet regions of the world, will see increases in heavy precipitation because of warming resulting from projected increases in carbon dioxide levels. Arid land areas outside the tropics and many regions with moderate rainfall could become drier." How about that? Heavy rain in soggy regions and drought in the parched ones.

Immigration: Free-market economist Milton Friedman once warned that open borders are incompatible with a welfare state. The $6.3 trillion cost of amnesty forecast by the Heritage Foundation illustrates it in spades. As the Gang of Eight immigration reform bill wends through Congress, it´s useful to have a report from Heritage showing just how much legalizing some 11 million unlawful immigrants will cost the taxpayers amid all the champagne-glass clinking from the anything-but-in-the-shadows illegals. Based on direct benefits such as Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, and workers´ compensation; means-tested benefits, which include more than 80 different welfare programs;

The Scandal In Libya: Testimony by the Benghazi whistle-blowers presents clear evidence of shameful political manipulation of the truth seven weeks before an election and a willingness to let four Americans die to maintain a campaign narrative. What difference at this point does the truth about Benghazi make? In an emotional opening statement at Wednesday´s hearing of the House Oversight Committee, Eric Nordstrom, a regional security officer of the U.S. Mission to Libya from September 2011 to July 2012, answered that question with voice cracking and a simple declarative sentence:

WASHINGTON—A high-ranking American diplomat delivered an emotional reconstruction Wednesday of the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, providing new details about frantic efforts to get military assistance, locate the missing ambassador and evacuate the surviving Americans. In testimony before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Gregory Hicks, the former deputy chief of mission in Libya, recounted what he saw as unanswered appeals for help, taunting calls from the missing ambassador´s phone, the saddest conversation of his life and the frantic efforts of an office manager to destroy sensitive information.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration, resolving years of internal debate, is on the verge of backing a Federal Bureau of Investigation plan for a sweeping overhaul of surveillance laws that would make it easier to wiretap people who communicate using the Internet rather than by traditional phone services, according to officials familiar with the deliberations. The F.B.I. director, Robert S. Mueller III, has argued that the bureau’s ability to carry out court-approved eavesdropping on suspects is “going dark” as communications technology evolves, and since 2010 has pushed for a legal mandate requiring companies like

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001.

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W.

The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.
